Researchers used Claude to breach OpenAI’s internal systems
AI generated
asserted
Researchers → use → AI
A security research company said on Sept 18 it managed to break into OpenAI’s internal systems using the latest software from Anthropic, exposing how quickly the technology can carry out sophisticated cyberattacks.
asserted
technology → say → cyberattacks
The researchers from security firm Hacktron said they found a security flaw in OpenAI’s public help forum, run by the Discourse platform, that allowed them to take control of the site.
asserted
them → say → site
“We immediately reported the initial vulnerability to OpenAI and Discourse and worked with them to coordinate the patch,” Hacktron said in a blog post.
asserted
Hacktron → report → post
“We appreciate their attention to detail and fast resolution of this issue,” the post added.
asserted
post → appreciate → issue
OpenAI confirmed the flaw was fixed within about 14 hours of being notified and paid the researchers a US$6,500 (S$8,300) reward.
asserted
flaw → confirm → reward
“We thank the researchers for contacting us and sharing their findings.
asserted
We → thank → findings
We narrowed the permissions on Community sign-in tokens and revoked affected tokens and sessions,” said Drew Pusateri, an OpenAI spokesperson.
asserted
Pusateri → narrow → tokens
The Hacktron researchers said they initially used Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8 to identify and exploit the software flaw, but struggled to make it work consistently.
asserted
it → say → flaw
After Anthropic released Claude Opus 5, the researchers said the newer model produced a working hack within about three hours.
asserted
model → release → hours
The hackers did not use Claude Mythos, a more capable Anthropic model that is restricted to a small group of vetted cyber-defence organisations.
asserted
that → use → organisations
Anthropic has described Mythos as having the strongest cybersecurity capabilities of any model it has built.
asserted
it → describe → model
Hacktron said the underlying software flaw is not unique to OpenAI and is used across many companies’ products, including those made by Slack and Meta.
asserted
flaw → say → Slack
The firm said it is continuing similar tests at other companies.
asserted
it → say → companies
The case adds to growing concern among security experts that AI tools are making it faster and cheaper to carry out sophisticated cyberattacks that once required specialised teams and months of work.
asserted
that → add → work
